Can you spot the motorcycle?

My wife did this without trying at about 50k and came away with nothing more than a cracked pelvis and a LOT of bruising. The bike went over too.

I've done the same and would have walked away if not for hitting my handlebar as I went over. There's a lot to be said for the durability of a human body.

Indeed. Also of the laptop in her bag that had a chunk taken out of one corner when the bike landed. It still worked perfectly.

Yeah. Spotted the bike but the training scenario only seems to give you either the option to do nothing at all or to pull out in front of the motorbike.

I got bored so killed him a few times. Was that the point?

I just rec'd the same insightful (sic) response from their tame currymuncher. Perhaps trained monkey would be more apt?
I felt that another observation from me was in order...

If one were interested, one might further inquire which department this has been referred to, and a contact for that department.

Good call.
Request sent.

Hi
Which department might that be? And who is the contact there?
If Auckland Council is serious about motorcycle safety, they should be working with riders themselves. The rubbish 'safety video' that sparked this exchange does nothing towards this purpose, and in fact only reinforces the myth that only motorcyclists are responsible for all that befalls them.

Will report back...

I'd be more worried about that weird hovering arrow in the middle of the road. That shit is whack.

It's not a weird arrow.It's a Vogon Interceptor

Clearly the questions were written by some fucktard whom has no history riding bikes.
Everyone has bike stories like "the brakes were fucked so I took it easy home" or "the tyre blew out, and I just hung on"......

No bikers I have ever met have a story like
"The handbars lifted in the air, so I hugged the tank and managed to pull over"
its always
'Lying on my back on the bike seat, bars in my hand all I could think was "Well fuck me, now I'm fucked"...........just as the bike began to topple'

I'd be: "please Keith Code,be wrong about body steering"

only just found this. sorry if its a resurect. but maybe we should film someone wearing highvis who crashed the same way then comes up with "hi vis only works when the driver actually looks."
